Final Fantasy XIII bus tour = Short but sweet

UPDATE: Comparisons of the PS3 vs. Xbox 360 versions: As the two systems were not running completely side by side, it was difficult for me to completely judge the graphics quality. As far as framerate goes, both versions seem to run equally well. For me, however, I believed that the colors were a bit more vibrant on the PS3, and--Yes I'm serious--Lightning's hair was sharper on the PS3 version!!! :D


Here it is! Today I took a trip to SF to play Final Fantasy XIII, the upcoming anticipated video game, in its complete English form. After following the twitter page of the twitter bus tour, I showed up at the perfect time to get my place in line for the demo. As passersby stopped to ask the people in line what we were lining up for, we gamers quickly made sure to file in. We were given black, short tickets marked "ADMIT ONE". After the initial 25 or so tickets were given, nobody else was allowed to line up. I guess they had to catch the bus at its next location (the bus stayed at each location for about 2 hours).

Pics, video, and more details after the jump!

Off the unCharted!!

Well today was relatively uninteresting in my life. I went to school (Yes I'm a college student), fell asleep in class of course... and have done pretty much nothing else. So I thought I'd get on here and post my first "real" post related to video games. :D

So yesterday October 5th, I was one of the lucky few of the general public to have gotten into the Uncharted 2 Cinema event in San Francisco. (For more info: PS Blog) Long story short... it was AMAZING.

The moment I walked in to the theater I was shocked by the huge movie screen that was currently projecting a live feed of Uncharted 2! I didn't even realize they had free food for us in the back till a little while later. haha The whole night was filled with a handful of raffle prizes given off to random attendees as the rest competed in the 5v5 multiplayer tournament. I would have loved to have been the proud winner of the Uncharted 2 FORTUNE HUNTER edition (with the sick dagger from the game!!!)....but I was not.


Introduction...

So this will be an honest blog about my thoughts as a gamer and as an enthusiast. I often find myself wanting to comment on certain things in the videogame industry or just on video games in general. Well, since i'm not a journalist or in any form a member of the press THANK GOD for the internet, web 2.0, and Blogging! Now I can just say what I want to, and even hope that there will be others to read and discuss things with me.



Well. Hope for the best!
